I do this every summer and it is by far my favorite fishing on Erie. The school is staging up nice between both ports.

Orange crush, Jerry Lee, blue dolphin, antifreeze are my favorite spoons. I run big dipseys with dipseys rods with 30 # braid and always run a snubber. Mono from downriggers is great and your 16# will work just fine. Check your baits every 15 minutes for fouled spoons. The water flees are thick right now. Best speed is always 3mph unless you have digital a down speed reader from your cannon ball. Lead core line is hot over there right now, 10 color or 100 yds is producing fish. The fish are deeper,, 40 to 50 ft down over 60 fow.

Contact me anytime and I will gladly do my best to help
